You assume no balance changes peperain
imagine a world where second wind is based and terra, FiF, and EWEW make sense SCagreed

#

also where enduring faith isn't 50% tdr at all times if you have a weapon with 30%+ crit chance

full nebula
#

imagine a world where they just take the nodes from the meta build and spray them randomly on the tree and call it good

stone fern
#

you mean everything before ogryn rework?

runic grotto
#

Imagine the world where they just remove the useless nodes

#

And zealot tree is just a straight line with exactly 30 nodes

full nebula
#

why do that? we're trying to waste points, not make our builds better

stone fern
#

why does psyker have the quickswap talent on the staff side and the soulblaze talent on the gun side

stone fern
#

zealots only have one path to redemption

ONE BUILD ONE EMPEROR

# stone fern 1 blocked message 😡

Having pre-blitz talents decide blitz options is pretty cool considering that Zealot's pre-blitz is the biggest in the game. Each side's stat nodes let you path to that side/middle blitzes, middle stat node lets you path to all blitz. The far left and right 'thematic' talents let you save a point but you are stuck with one blitz option if you only spend 3 points pre-blitz. Voice of Terra and FiF would be the biggest issues.

Also there's a kinda funny interaction where if you path left or right and grab nodes there, but want the opposite side's blitz, you can just take the outermost path for the cheap 4 point blitz w/ fairly coherent talents along those two paths. Prob would add a path from anoint to the middle stat node to have a similar multi-pathing version of this that has you take a stat node instead of 3 coherent talents but you can path to any blitz.

#

I don't quite like that layout but it has some neat elements. It was kinda just like a 'if Fatshark made it multi-pathable with the fewest tweaks possible', that tree is basically if you just add some diagonal down paths from the middle branch to the side branches, and then shift stuff around to make the lines make sense

flamer relic blade

ok

stone fern
#

as it stands for zealot, psyker and a lesser extent vet you just end up with a blitz that you dont want or with zealot you end up with knives always because theyre the best and theyre on the holy path

#

@stone fern you gonna read all that by yourself?

stone fern
#

yeah

#

my adhd lets me read every other word and understand 90% of the text

ripe quest
# stone fern the main thing is people dont usually build around blitz they pick the talents t...

That is a fair reason to make a central node to get any blitz. There are definitely multiple other ways to address it though, such as preventing a singular path from being as idolized as Zealot's "meta" build (ie just balancing) and also making all of the blitzes worth it. Many ways to address it, stuns and immos could use an edge as Throwing Knives aren't particularly strong it's just they regen and are a good backup for a ranged weapon.

With that particular design, if you ever take a toughness node pre-blitz you're 1 point away from swapping to a different blitz path. If you take left branch you basically have an equal choice for stuns and immos, for right branch an equal choice for knives and immos (assuming the nodes are worth it balance-wise). And same w/ the mid branch. If the stat nodes get condensed a bit in the blitz-ult section, it's actually pretty likely that people won't feel as constrained on points for pre-blitz stuff.

that being said the dmg feels really good imo specially when you're supposed to be the """""stagger"""" class

It used to be so

When you rev

The initial hit would be different than the hit of your light/heavy

But now that's gone

So the initial hit damage is that of your light/heavy

Which is what would get the benefits from Shroudfield

Really? Why do you recommend tac axe over relic blade? I'm newer, so I don't know why. BUT, from trying relic blade, it has that toughness on 3 or more hits I Think and seems to cleave groups easily

misty nova
#

But yeah

#

If you're facing a catcher

#

Throw hands or simply walk away

plush estuary
#

with having a ton of stagger

misty nova
#

🚶‍♂️

plush estuary
#

and this is for a "sustain" build

#

relic blade will have more dps

#

but less mobility

#

thus lowering survability

craggy jackal
#

Also you shouldn’t be using that relic blade blessing

#

Use damage blessings

misty wraith
#

what does the relic blade activation actually do

void bison
craggy jackal
gleaming siren
misty wraith
craggy jackal
#

You don’t though

misty wraith
craggy jackal
#

You get lots of toughness damage resistance on Zealot

misty wraith
#

tanky af class

#

make sure you grab second wind

craggy jackal
#

Then you regen by killing things with your melee

stray summit
craggy jackal
#

So damage damage and damage

misty wraith
#

beeg damage,,,

#

so i want to maintain uptime on that as much as possible i guess?

gleaming siren
#

But you easily kill trashmobs already. Extra damage doesn't seem worth in that regard,

craggy jackal
#

You take damage for not trash mobs

gleaming siren
#

Pop relic special. get the toughness

void bison
#

clearly skedaddling

#

different from walking

gleaming siren
#

Most things die easily enough with the relic special. that and sticking with my team, im not sure how extra dmg helps me on my quest for more sustain

craggy jackal
#

If things are dying easily you won’t have an issue with survivability

#

So something is wrong

obsidian prairie
misty wraith
#

trash mobs dont kill you, special mobs do, and more damage makes special mobs die faster

craggy jackal
#

It’s not worth to take the survive blessing for the same reason you think damage isn’t worth it

#

You get so much damage resistance from your tree as zealot

gleaming siren
#

Most things in the hordes. There's still ranged gunners and some elites as well, which is why the extra sustain is what I was going for

craggy jackal
#

If you need more you are doing something wrong

void bison
#

do you die from melee or ranged

obsidian prairie
#

Just take gunners dr if you have trouble with gunners

gleaming siren
#

It seems to be ranged.

ornate bone
#

Yeah. And bring the bolter or bolt pistol if you’re dying to ranged

gleaming siren
#

Usually some gunner or something I miss in the middle of fighting a horde

craggy jackal
#

Dying to ranged enemies is something you need to learn to play to avoid

#

Pull out your ranged weapon

#

Use your F skill to rush towards them

void bison
#

have you tried shouting for the emperor and for the golden throne while playing? your heart may not be in it enough to survive

gleaming siren
#

This discussion isn't about that

ornate bone
#

I find the bolter will do a great
Job thinning out numbers of ranged enemies that are already set up in cover

craggy jackal
#

You asked for survivability tips

#

This is related to survivability

gleaming siren
#

I asked for sustain tips

#

a build on sustain

obsidian prairie
#

Yeah and we gave it

gleaming siren
#

Yes, I know

craggy jackal
#

The build on sustain was already given

obsidian prairie
#

Now were giving supplementary tips to help you survive better

craggy jackal
#

The rest of the sustain comes from how you play the game

obsidian prairie
#

A build won't make you invincible on its own

gleaming siren
#

I appreciate the extra information, but I was talking about sustain on the zealot and how to achieve more of it. Not tactics and such.

ornate bone
#

Unless you’re playing arbites these days 😂

obsidian prairie
#

If you're bad at handling certain threats they will down you no matter what

obsidian prairie
#

Zealot has zero build variety

craggy jackal
#

You’ve been given everything you can then

humble dome
obsidian prairie
#

You take this build and something fast with good finesse (tac axe is perfect) and just run it

misty nova
#

Just give them the 22% toughness on heavy kills build and be done with it

gleaming siren
#

Yes, and I was going to try that. But I was curious why having the toughness on the relic blade is a no, when it gives me actual sustain while activating the special easily kills trash mobs. Curious what other perk it has makes you say that

ornate bone
#

Taxe is so fun. Especially on…martyrdom.

obsidian prairie
craggy jackal
#

Cranial grounding is your anchor perk, it increases weak spot damage and decreases heat generation, which leads to more special uptime

void bison
#

or wrath for havoc from what i have heard

craggy jackal
#

Your secondary blessing is rampage (generic damage) or wrath (havoc mode)

#

You can take heatsink as well for more special uptime

#

But I’m not sure how many people do that

gleaming siren
#

Okay, excellent. I will look into these. Thank you for the information everyone

misty nova
#

I still don't see the 22% tg on heavy kills build

#

Smh

#

Gimme a sec

#

Or 5

#

Or 300

#

There

#

Enjoy your extremely mid build

#

You even get 2 points to choose whatever

You're welcome

Is this the driptide mod or base game cosmetics?

gleaming siren
#

I did this before because I thought it was cool that you have some probably standard issue pants to show your'e part of the modern unit, while the rest of the stuff is a personal touch thing and represents the character/profession

gleaming siren
#

Bro i just noticed these pants

#

Need them

rose hawk
#

My zealot is just

#

This

#

But without the vox grill

#

And not the silver chest, the black one

#

Which I'm ngl is worse than the silver one imo

gleaming siren
#

The bolt gun is perfect for that

#

literally looks like it was made just for that type of char lol

rose hawk
#

Yeah some of zealots gear has very sororitas looking vibes to it

#

I'd love some sisters of silence armor but I doubt they'd add it

misty nova
#

💀

#

(there are two pants that are basically the same)

gleaming siren
red mesa
#

how you guys feel about evis in havoc since buffs? is piety keystone + perferct strike/shred build the way to go, or more standard build with rampage/cleave blessing

gleaming siren

perfect strike is probably meta for horde clear

Im kinda new in general... Mainly taking game slow

sacred apex
#

I just started playing darktide and was wondering which combat knife is better paired with the revolver

craggy jackal
#

mk 3 is the "better" one cause the first heavy is an overhead

#

but mk 6 is easier and usable

misty nova
#

Otherwise you'll be too single target

#

Actually

#

You're already are too single target

#

You are already are

#

You double are too single target

sacred apex
#

I just unlocked the duelling sword is it any good?

misty nova
#

Most broken weapon in the game

gloomy vine
misty nova
#

You just unlocked it

gloomy vine
misty nova
#

Which means not at full potential

#

And already insanely powerful

sacred apex
#

So what gun would i use with it?

misty nova
#

Flamer

#

Agripina Braced Autogun

#

Zarona Shotgun

#

Double Barrel

#

So, weapons that are better at dealing with hordes

gloomy vine
misty nova
#

Although duelling sword has a safe horde clearing already

gloomy vine
#

note that i said "relative" weakness as even with 60 cleave damage on the mk4 you can just light spam to win

misty nova
#

Just gonna warn you

#

Prolonged usage of dueling sword might ruin your perception about every other melee weapon

#

Are you sure you wanna go down this path

gloomy vine
#

bro is joining the dark side

#

i like relic blade because its also very strong and has more cool factor than ds angle

sacred apex
#

Yea ive been trying to juggle all the weapons ive unlocked so far and the only other weapons ive really liked is the revolver and combat knife

misty nova
#

I like Eviscerator because vroom vroom

sacred apex
#

I dont like the burst autogun bc of the recoil

gloomy vine
misty nova
#

Evis 3? Yes

#

Evis15? No

gloomy vine

#

mk 15 slander

stray summit
#

But also yes thats slander mk15 is far from boring

hushed knoll
gloomy vine
#

@plush estuary is boltgun too cumbersome to fit with relic blade

rough galleon
#

I mean you're right, it's more engaging than say a duelling sword, but that's entirely because it's a chain weapon and you have to decide when to activate, and if you do the funny activate light crit setup for five minutes before it becomes painfully repetitive and dry
The combos are boring and the lights look like holding a plastic bat at arms length and wiggling it side to side at the wrist
Executioner sword is boring and slow and the animations are boring too and only satisfying because of the fx and elite oneshots

Vanilla is my favorite flavor of ice cream. Not just nice vanilla, El cheapo boring vanilla too. You're allowed to like it, and it's function. The heart wants what it wants, but it's straight up less engaging and less interesting

misty nova
#

Exec Sword catching strays

misty nova
#

What are you going to do with a boltgun when you have Relic Blade

#

I also going to let evis15 slander pass

#

For a while

#

It's about damn time Evis3 enjoyers can be proud

#

Because it's not dogshit anymore

rough galleon
#

Executioner sword deserves it
The fx is dopamine but it's miserable to use beyond merc's giga buffs and a sidearm for elites on gk

rose hawk
#

I like all melees

plush estuary
#

shredder auto and bolt pistol help relic alot more

rose hawk
#

I haven't tried shredder yet after buffs

rough galleon
#

I like that the push attack is a stab
I dont use it much beyond push attack muscle memory and I don't recall it being spectacular but its good that it was different

#

And much like the executioner sword the heavies do fuck hard

#

But you'll pry mk3 heavy 1 from my cold dead hands

true but its saved by 2 things
The 40k flair of being a massive motherfucking chainsaw sword
the mechanics of it being a chainsaw sword, the rev special and the natural rev on the push attack and the heavies

i use the push attack on the 15 to stagger ragers its good

#

this is why DS is miles more boring because it has neither of those
